In our lives whenever we strive in faithfulness and obedience to God to be good, the devil is there to deceive and destroy.
I am still reminded of the wonderful Editorial [1] focusing on the “…mixing ourselves and our laws and culture with other nations and pagan supranational organisations…”
The above highlights the problems of globalist and green state ‘last days’ godless evil fueled by political correctness and an “ ‘unclean’ spiritual onslaught by pro-EU legal Lords”. Will there be a real stand against this as with Churchill’s stand against the total evils of 1939-1945?
Covenant Nation Britain, indeed all Covenant Nations, were faithful to Almighty God before the 1960s. The deception quoted above, aided by the liberal church, has led our Covenant Nations astray to unfaithfulness, unholiness and disobedience. Remember another Editorial [2] “With death striking at the leading covenant nations and people’s livelihoods under threat, many people who have never given God a serious thought in their lives (we hear) have been praying for the first time in their lives. This is significant as the LORD declared
II Chronicles 7.13-14
“If I send pestilence among my people: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways: then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
The liberal church has gone soft on holiness (Leviticus 18.22; Romans 1.24-27; 1 Corinthians 6.9-10). The liberal church has corrupted biblical truth. Further we remember in relation to the quote above “mixing ourselves and our laws and culture with other nations”, Almighty God gives a warning with anger as He did with the House of Israel:
Exodus 34.12
“Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare among you.”
Judges 2.2-4
“…and you shall not make a covenant with the people of this land…” “…you have disobeyed me. Why have you done this? Now therefore I tell you that I will not drive them out before you; they will be thorns in your sides and their gods will be a snare to you.” When the angel of the LORD had spoken these things to all the Israelites, the people wept aloud…”
Complacency and giving in to claims of discrimination led to history repeating itself:
Hosea 7.9
“Foreigners sap his strength, but he does not realize it. His hair is sprinkled with grey, but he does not notice.”
This leads me to a further deception of supranatural organisations such as the EU and the United Nations. When will all Covenant Nations forget the evil intentions of the EU and United Nations? When will Covenant Nations remember their ‘first love’ and ‘the height from which they have fallen!’ (Revelation 2.4-5). We pray for repentance and spiritual revival.
Before focusing on what has led Covenant Nations astray, I need to encourage us on the Biblical truth of Holy Scripture which teaches us what is right, how to get right and how to keep right.
God is the creator and sustainer of His world in which we live. Scripture is clear on this – “In Him (The Lord God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,) we live and move and have our being”. (Acts 17.28) (This means that the whole of our past, the nanosecond of our present and our future – each breath – is given by the One true LORD God Almighty).
Remembering the Beginning:
Genesis 1.1
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
Here we notice ‘God’ (Hebrew – Elohim) ‘created’ (Hebrew – bara). God created out of nothing (Latin ‘ex-nihil’). ‘Elohim’ is plural and ‘bara’ is singular. Immediately we see the Holy Trinity singularly creating.
Consider current studies in science: the question of intelligent design was a difficult thought for many philosophers who looked to evolution for an answer to beginnings even though they had the answer in Holy Scripture! The reality is that intelligent design does not go far enough in answering the creation of the universe. When we focus on intelligent design, by definition a high degree of understanding the plan and purpose of our universe and our existence is the focus. The true reality is that intelligent design does not adequately define what God had done in His continual timely loving care of His creation and its maintenance and renewal. This is God’s providence He who sustains His creation with His omnipotence, omnipresence and His omniscience.
Hence the problem of our Covenant Nations today and their unfaithfulness and disobedience causing their focus on evolution not scripture. The study of organic evolution and biophysics is an interesting research subject and the work by Spetner,[3] on chance, seriously refutes the theory of evolution.
In the history of evolutionism, Darwin thought that the universe began and was simply run by fixed laws and that there was no place or need of a divine creator. Man was answerable to himself only. Darwin believed that life formed from inanimate matter in a natural way in a primeval swamp. Do you really think our ancient ancestors came from a swamp?
William Paley, a philosopher and a Christian, published a work in 1794 called “A View of the Evidences of Christianity”. This was followed by another work “Natural Theology” in 1802 where he emphasised the existence of a creator with his famous statement “Argument from design”. He mentions about a watch being found in the desert and argued that the watch had not come into being all by itself or by chance. Paley argued that just as the watch had to have a creator, all the more the creation of living things definitely emphasised a creator.
Further, the truth that Almighty God is in total control:
Psalms 2.1-7
“Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against his Anointed One.”
(This is Jesus, concealed in the Old Covenant and revealed in His New Covenant).
“Let us break their chains,” they say, “and throw off their fetters.” The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them. Then he rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying, “I have installed my King (my son Jesus) on Zion, my holy hill.” I will proclaim the decree of the Lord : He said to me, “You are my Son ; today I have become your Father.”
Intelligent design is limited in relation to God’s plan for and His sustaining of His creation. This can be seen in the following example which highlights the difference between Paley’s watch and a living organism. The example follows – a mechanic was complaining about how much he had to pay a doctor. He was repairing the engine of a car and charged a certain amount for his work. He then found that a doctor who had performed heart surgery had charged 100 times more for the heart surgery operation than the mechanic had charged for servicing the car engine. When he was telling this to a Doctor, the Doctor replied “Perhaps the Doctor’s fee had something to do with the fact that the heart was still running!” He asked the mechanic “Did you service the engine while it was still running?”
So, continuing on, the argument from design was successful in dampening evolutionism, however, unbelief in Almighty God led to the Religion of Evolutionism being favoured in many scientific circles. We are beginning to understand the problem of unbelief and trusting in the fraud of evolution. This fraud continues in the error of climate change which God has under His control.
In Darwin’s work we have to distinguish between his theory of descent and his theory of natural selection. Of the first, the theory of descent says that all living organisms arose from a single, simple form. They all developed in a natural way into their present forms. Darwin held natural selection to be the mechanism through which evolution works. Many people had suggested ideas about evolution long before Darwin wrote his book, but none was widely accepted.
Darwin’s process from simple to complex was to take a long series of steps – many steps over long periods of time for each step, building on the step before. Darwin really had no concepts of the variations, assuming that they were there, and then saying it was a fact they were there. This is not logical. Darwin thought there were “causes” but had no idea of these causes. Spetner records: [4] “Darwin simply looked to chance in his work of 1873.” It is true that Darwin led the world into concepts of evolution with many biologists following him but not really acknowledging the problems with his theory. Darwin focused on chance. When Darwin died, tradition recorded that he said he was sorry to Almighty God in that his ideas were not sufficiently correct.
There is a great deception in evolution theory, rejecting the reality of Holy Scripture, which many may acknowledge until they see Jesus face to face when they pass from His world awaiting eternity with Him or not with Him!
Let us compare the two creation orders:
- Bible creation truth order Genesis 1: earth created before sun and stars (v12); earth initially covered with water (v6); oceans before dry land (v9); life on land first (v11); plants before sun (v12); fish and birds (v20); land animals follow (v24); man, and creatures (dinosaurs).
- Evolution theory corresponding order: stars and sun before earth; earth; dry land; then oceans; life began in oceans; plants after sun; fish before birds; animals before large sea creatures; dinosaurs extinct before man appears.
Further, the attempts to push to a godless global ‘last days’ one-world government shows the rejection of Almighty God and His sustaining and maintaining His creation. This is clearly seen in the greed forcing the fraud of climate change on Covenant Nations. Australia is blessed with the best coal (anthracite) in God’s world. Technology has enabled coal-fired stations to produce the cheapest, cleanest base-load power. Professor Ian Plimer, Australia’s leading geologist in his book ‘Climate Change Delusions and the Great Electricity Rip-off’ makes the following comments [5] on the deception of human induced climate change:-
“Very cold minimum temperatures measured in 2017 by government agencies are expunged from the record or changed to a warmer temperature to show a warming trend.”
There is no relationship between measured temperature and CO2 emissions.
Plimer continues:
“The fraudulent ‘homogenisation’ of raw data, the inaccessibility of stored raw data, the deletion of large volumes of raw data, the opacity of modeling methods, the omission of validation past climate data, the uncertainty of measurement, claims of a consensus and the demonising of dissent all show that climate ‘science’ has nothing to do with science but, rather, is post-modernist political activist thuggery. These historical temperature records may be nigh on useless.
Taxpayers fund climate research and institutions like the Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO and universities. We expect accountability and independent dispassionate information and should not have to pay crippling electricity bills because of fraudulent environmental activism.
Attempts to change global temperature or stop global climate change are deluded and are essentially attempts to control to every aspect of our lives by unelected opaque organisations such as the UN.
Climate change activism is the main weapon of the culture wars to deconstruct Western civilization.
The 97% consensus fraud: We hear from the media that, in the scientific community, there is little controversy and 97% of climate scientists conclude that humans are causing global warming. Is that really true? It is a zombie statistic. However much you try to kill it off, it keeps coming back and it’s simply not true.
In the scientific circles I mix in, there is an overwhelming skepticism about human-induced climate change and many of my scientific colleagues claim that the mantra of human-induced global warming is the biggest scientific fraud of all time. And future generations will pay.”
When will true Christians: true Ministers, politicians and businessmen take a stand for spiritual revival? Almighty God has an eternal warning:
Jeremiah 23.9-20
Concerning the prophets (now type/shadow Liberal Ministers):
My heart is broken within me… like a man overcome by wine, because of the Lord and his holy words. The land is full of adulterers… The prophets (now Liberal Ministers) follow an evil course and use their power unjustly. “Both prophet and priest (now Liberal Ministers) are godless; even in my temple (liberal Church) I find their wickedness,” declares the Lord. “Therefore, their path will become slippery; they will be banished to darkness and there they will fall. I will bring disaster on them in the year they are punished,” declares the Lord. And among the prophets (now Liberal Ministers) of Jerusalem (today our Covenant Nations) I have seen something horrible: They commit adultery and live a lie. They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns from his wickedness.
They are all like Sodom to me; the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.” This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord. They keep saying to those who despise me, ‘The Lord says: You will have peace.’ And to all who follow the stubbornness of their hearts they say, ‘No harm will come to you…’ See, the storm of the Lord will burst out in wrath, a whirlwind swirling down on the heads of the wicked. The anger of the Lord will not turn back until he fully accomplishes the purposes of his heart. In days to come you will understand it clearly.
Today this is happening to our Covenant Nations. We pray for Spiritual revival.
